ishyfaceKnow what I love? Bandom girls!
Know what I like to do when I love things? Post pictures of them!
And thus, Ish's Really Really Ridiculously Good-Looking Bandom Girl Picspam.
Jamia Nestor!
Jamia is the CEO of a company called Skeleton Crew.
They make clothes and books and music and shit.
She is also married to Frank Iero!
Sometimes they look related.
Information about Jamia is hard to come by, since she avoids the spotlight. What we do know about her:
She does not celebrate Christmas.
She is good at video games.
She laughed when Frank proposed to her.
SHE IS ADORABLE.
---
Tegan Quin!
Tegan is one half of Tegan and Sara.
(You may have noticed.)
They make music of the twee indie pop variety, and are generally fantastic.
Tegan and Sara are both awesome...
... but Tegan is my favourite.
Because she is sassy and sarcastic.
And says things like "I don't wake up and think 'I'm gay.' I wake up and think 'I'm starving!'"
And because labrets are hot and I'm shallow.
It's a curse, really.
---
Katie Kay!
Katie Kay is a dancer and has toured with the Dresden Dolls and Panic At The Disco, back when they had an exclamation point. She's also tour managed for the Dolls.
Here she is performing "Mandy Goes to Med School," the catchiest song about illegal abortions ever.
Sometimes she dances with Margaret Cho for no apparent reason.
She knows how to bellydance!
She wears jaunty little hats!
She is bee-yoo-ti-ful!
And precious!
I just really like this shot of her hands.
And I like this shot of her tattoos. (I'm not really sure what most of them are, but they sure are purdy.)
HEY, GUESS WHO THAT IS.
---
Amanda Palmer!
Amanda Palmer sings and plays the piano and keyboards for everyone's favourite Brechtian punk cabaret act, the Dresden Dolls.
She writes the most amazing lyrics...
... and pounds the shit out of her instruments.
The first time I listened to the Dolls what blew me away most was how smart the lyrics were, and how honest and brutal and personal and just. God. Amanda Palmer. ♥
She is pretty much made of win.
Smiley whitefaced WIN.
Amanda + Margaret Cho = double shot of win!
Here she is playing the ukulele in a frilly skirt.
She just likes to rock out, okay?
Is there anything I can say other than "AMANDA PALMER MARRY ME RIGHT THIS SECOND"?
No?
Okay, then, Amanda Palmer, MARRY ME RIGHT THIS SECOND.
---
Beth Ditto!
Beth Ditto is the singer from the Gossip, and also awesome.
She makes Biblical references...
... and takes pictures...
... and wears tutus!
Beth Ditto is not demure or shy or quiet.
Beth Ditto is, in fact, punk as fuck.
Beth Ditto is in your face about her size and her sexuality and her politics and it makes me want to stare at her like this: *_*
And I kind of want to know if she's ever met Pete Wentz.
DO NOT SASS HER PLKW3.
SHE WILL SCHOOL YOU.
Beth Ditto would like to announce that there's nothing girly about pink, and nothing wrong with being girly anyway.
So SUCK IT, because Beth Ditto is PUNK. AS. FUCK.
---
Lily Allen!
Lily Allen is awesome.
Unfortunately I know very little else about her, other than her music is catchy and amazing!
And that she likes to perform drunk.
And she used to deal drugs at a record store.
And she had a miscarriage recently, which is terribly sad.
So if anyone wants to tell me more about Lily Allen, I would be down with that!
---
Alicia Simmons!
Alicia Simmons is a bass tech.
She tours with lots of bands and played with From First To Last when their bassist got sick.
Here she is bein' wee and queer.
She has many awesome tattoos (and one ridiculously ugly one).
And she is, uh, obscenely attractive.
Really.
Really.
Um.
(I actually really like this sweater, but I have admittedly questionable taste.)
Alicia likes to take pictures of herself.
I would too if I were her.
Sometimes she takes pictures with other people, including one (1) Eliza Cutts, who is kiiiiiind of a crazy person, but that's okay.
Alicia is married to one (1) Mikey Way, who once identified Coke Zero as one of his turn-ons. I imagine this picture must make his thighs burst into flames.
I like it when she goes a little lighter on the eyeliner, because her eyes are fucking gorgeous.
Alicia likes to play with snakes.
Um... I don't have an ending for this section.
Basically she is hot and awesome, and likes to posts videos of herself freaking out about baby sharks.
Oh, and she taught her cat tricks with her crazy gypsy magic.
---
Greta Salpeter!
Greta Salpeter sings and plays piano in the Little Band That Could, A.K.A. the Hush Sound.
She also plays drums and guitar and probably many other instruments. AND she knits. And can change tires.
Ugh, Greta, how so talented?
And the thing about Greta is that at first she seems all innocent and sweet. I mean, look at her in her little hat!
And with her little Patrick!
(She kind of looks like a Cabbage Patch doll here, wonderfully.)
And because she's so well-spoken and pretty many people miss out on the fact that she is a TOTAL PSYCHOPATH.
It's true. Just read her lyrics.
In addition to being a stealth psychopath, Greta is also a stealth hottie.
At first you think "Lalala, pretty Greta is pretty"...
... then BAM.
You realize that pretty Greta is actually HOT LIKE THE SUN.
Guh.
---
Hayley Williams!
Hayley is the lead singer of Paramore.
I know that a lot of people do not like Paramore, mostly because of the lyrics to "Misery Business."
To an extent I agree with them, because "once you're a whore you're nothing more, sorry, that'll never change"? It makes me sadface.
However, I think the fact that she is a nineteen-year-old girl fronting a rock band is pretty damn awesome.
And I can't say that the songs I wrote in high school were any more progressive.And neither were Ryan Ross's.
(And since I am roughly the same age as her, I am allowed to think she's cute without totally hating myself.)
Also, Paramore has some damn good riffs.
Which she writes! And that is feminist, so THERE.
Hayley understands the importance of Vitamin C.
She uses it to colour her hair!
But she is not sure what is going on with the dead cat on Travis' head.
---
Lyn-Z!
Lyn-Z is the bass player from Mindless Self Indulgence.
She is crazy good!
She can do the splits!
She crowd surfs!
She wears ties!
And schoolgirl uniforms!
She has many tattoos!
She's also married to some loser singer guy whose name I can't remember.
(Sometimes she wears his merch.)
(And sometimes she wears Joan Jett shirts. Oh, Lyn-Z.)
Anyway. Lyn-Z was basically sent from Mars to make the world more awesome.
And to keep her crazy-ass bandmates under control.
She will use force if necessary!
Little Jimmy can get particularly out of hand...
... but she can handle him.
Also, she is fiiiiiiine.
(Ugh, white tank tops are my kryptonite.)
And SO ADORABLE SHE MAKES MY HEAD EXPLODE WHAT THE CHRIST.
See?
Adorable!
She can has fans!
And MOAR FANS.
And UNIRONIC DENIM JACKETS.
Her wee smiiiiiile. Just when you think she's a badass, she turns up in fan pictures all smiley and cute and ridiculously hot and ugggggh, her FACE.
FACE.
FACE.
FACE.
Chicken FACE.
FACE.
FAAAAAAACE.
Here is a True Fact for anyone not already sold on her: when Lyn auditioned to join the band she BREATHED FIRE.
Because she is a badass.
When she is not being a ridiculous lovesick geek with her geeky husband and his geeky ass.
I don't even know, you guys. How is she so hot and awesome?
Signs point to MAGIC.
---
Keltie Colleen!
Keltie Colleen is a dancer and a preciousface.
Technically she does not count as a band girl, per se, because she is just dating a boy in a band rather than in a band herself, but she makes me see hearts in my eyes so I am going to post pictures of her anyway!
She is dating this boy, one (1) Ryan Ross. (Her shirt says "I Love My Boyfriend" AND HE IS POINTING TO HIMSELF. LIKE, HI, JUST IN CASE YOU FORGOT, I AM HER BOYFRIEND. HOW ADORABLE IS THAT?)
This has made a lot of stupid people angry, because they want to be banging his skinny ass instead.
And they talked so much shit about her that Keltie actually lost a gig because everyone was calling her a whore. DDDD:
The haters need to GTFO, because Keltie is AWESOME.
She celebrates Earth Day and says she is proud to share the sky with you!
She thinks the Buddha is rad!
She likes the Beatles!
A lot.
A whole lot.
And she has a precious face that I want to smish.
In a totally non-creepy way.
---
VICKY-T!
Vicky-T is a classy dame.
Very classy.
Except for when she has chopstick fangs.
She plays keytar for Cobra Starship.
She fancies tiny dresses.
And tiny dogs! Hers is named Gizmo.
And she has the most amazing legs in the world.
See?
Sometimes she looks cryptic.
Sometimes she looks like she's playing charades.
Sometimes she looks pensive.
Sometimes she looks endearingly dorky.
Sometimes she has plans for that koala... evil plans.
Sometimes she looks apprehensive.
Sometimes she looks excited.
Sometimes she looks wide awake.
Sometimes she looks like she's watching monster trucks from afar.
Sometimes she looks PSYCHED.
Sometimes she looks... like whatever this is, I dunno.
Sometimes she looks bored.
Sometimes she looks like she is going to tell you to bring her a mocha latte and then yell at you if there's not enough foam on the top.
(But she'd never actually do that because she's awesome.)
Sometimes she has no idea she is about to be HIT BY A TRUCK WHAT THE SHIT.
Sometimes she hangs out naked in bed with girls!
WHICH IS A TOTALLY VALID LIFESTYLE CHOICE.
YOU JUST KEEP DOIN WHAT YOU DO VICKY-T.
(Also, what is with Creepy Jesus Guy?)
Vicky-T hangs out with awesome people, including one PStump.
Ahaha, know what's embarrassing? When you're trolling the Internet for pictures of a certain keytarist and you don't need to save any of them because you've already got them all on your harddrive.
Not that I'd know.
Or anything.
Yes.
Yes indeedy.
In conclusion: Bandom girls are awesome, and I wish more people got excited to the point of ridiculousness about them.
Know what I like to do when I love things? Post pictures of them!
And thus, Ish's Really Really Ridiculously Good-Looking Bandom Girl Picspam.
